Why it matters in GWAS

Epidemiologic measures and designs frame how phenotypes, sampling, and time-to-event endpoints are defined—directly affecting GWAS interpretation, meta-analysis, and translation.

Example usage

Related-term network

Click any node to open that term page.

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
